Lea: the Quinn/Bridgerton books on audible are When He Was Wicked, It's In His Kiss and On the Way To The Wedding. Also, all the second epilogues are there, but not read by Simon Prebble, and not as good a narrator imho. As far as I'm concerned, Prebble can read the phone book into my ear any day, and his Michael is quite, uhm, good. (Is it too icky to call his Michael-voice drool-worthy??)
Also, just fyi, listening to It's In His Kiss while having your teeth cleaned is not a good idea because you will laugh a lot. Or at least, I did.
Also, Drums of Autumn is now available on audible.com for 1 credit - well worth it!
Kassiana: you can definitely get unabridged versions of many books. I now hear Davina Porter's voice in my head when I read Outlander, and Simon Prebble's voice when I read Julia Quinn! They have better British and Scots accents than I can manage on my own. I listen to samples of the voices at audible, and if I don't like it, I don't get it.
On Time Traveler's Wife, when I heard the sample I thought YES! The male narrator really captured Henry's voice for me, cynical and wry. I couldn't have listened to it if he hadn't fit my image. That's one where they use a male narrator for Henry's sections, and a female for Clare's sections. But the narrators each read all the voices in his or her section - each section is written in first person from either his or her POV.
